Thread Killers

Thought it might be fun to make a list of things that render an active, fun-loving thread... well, Dead.

I was reading the other day and I saw for the ka-zillionth time or so where some well meaning newbie jumped into a lively discussion to ask the question. You know the one... "What is a PB?"

Don't get me wrong, I am sure I did it too. Well maybe, I sure hope not.

What can someone post that will make you shut it down and walk away?

yay! this gives someone somewhere else to post just to post ... YAY!!!!

We're all hopping for joy!!!! (Sarcastically speaking, of course.)

I think a thread killer is when the conversation turns away from someone and they jump in with pity party sob story and everyone says...ahhh...then the conversation turns away from it and then the someone comes back with the same old BS sob story.

We're not talking about YOU anymore. You got your hugs...move on.

Wow...that sounds really grumpy. I didn't think I was, but....am I having a bad day?

I stop visiting a thread when someone comes in the middle of a normal discussion and posts something (completely off topic to the thread, like)--

Give us your best guess. :paranoid

After the mammo, you look like this.

we are but bags of electrolized blood and guts wandering around bumping into each other till we fall down and die. basically that is life. happiness is realizing this, and dancing your baggy ass through the crowd with a smile on your face.

Or for you trekkie fans, some alien force once called us "ugly bag of mostly water." Sounds sexy, eh?

I never, ever want to see a thread about cheese again. That was the lamest stuff I ever saw and annoyed the bejeebers out of me.

I liked the funny picture of the cat box litter dessert!
